Speaking of making your own, episode 11 of 5 Minutes of Rum is posted. It's all about Wray & Nephew Overproof rum, using that rum to make your own falernum (Falernum #9 from Beachbum Berry Remixed), and a modified version of The Hawaiian Eye. Enjoy!

Curious as to why the ED 15 was left out, as it's way different than the 12, and seemingly quite available, at least in the Midwest. I'd consider the 15 as a sipper, on par with Ron Zacapa 23 on the smoothness scale, and definitely more complex, in my opinion.

El Dorado 15 will make an appearance in a future episode, as will El Dorado 8. Honestly I hadn't planned on going back to El Dorado so quickly after talking about ED5 on episode 8, but I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle of El Dorado 21. And when planning out tasting the ED21 for an episode, it felt like I needed something else that was more accessible in that episode than a $100 bottle of rum. I happen to normally have ED on hand so that's what I went with.
